Boiling River
According to available science, a river cannot reach those temperatures. Scientists have discovered evidence to the contrary in Peru’s Amazon, however. The Boiling River in Puerto Inca continues to defy scientific expectations. Although it’s close, it’s not quite at the boiling point. However, the temperature is extremely high. A river in Peru’s dense jungle reaches temperatures of nearly 200 degrees Fahrenheit at the Boiling River. Are you on the verge of jumping in? You’re not supposed to.

The Petrifying Well
North Yorkshire used to be associated with witchcraft, according to popular belief. A well near Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, appeared to be turning things to stone. Mother Shipton, a fabled local witch, and oracle, was held responsible for such occult activities. Despite scientific evidence to the contrary, some people believe that things aren’t quite right in the world. Mother Shipton was linked to a number of tragic events because she made it her business to predict certain calamities that would befall England’s Tudor reign. Locals were terrified of the Petrifying Well in the 1600s.
